That's a nice offer and would be fun just to take a drive:-) are you experiencing any added vibration from just doing the flange swap? People have said that the flange swap causes excessive vibration at anything more than part throttle. Yeah, seb and his boys are the only ones to work on my car too, they always do a good job. By the way, I really appreciate your input on this, so many differing opinions on whether to go with just a flange swap or buying a 6mt rear drive shaft.

finally got my 3.692 vlsd diff in over the weekend. I've had time to drive it in town and on the road. I haven't had any cels and things seems to be good.

The difference with acceleration is good. The car seems to always be ready to go. I think I would like the 3.90's even more.

Vlsd is huge. I don't spin my tire(s) nearly as much: it's just go. The RPM levels are barely noticable on the highway. 80 is a few hundred rpms more but you don't really notice. The best part is stepping on the pedal and the car just drops a gear and goes. On the city streets, the torque is great. Just touch the gas and it rolls nicely and when you need more just give it more.

First drive out I pegged the limiter... put it into ds and held 1st. it got there before I was ready. gears 1-2-3 are quick. you're way past the speed limit before you know it.

THIS is the best mod to date. You really feel the difference more than any other bolt on.

CHUCKIE- you are absolutely correct with how you handled the driveshaft. Just change the flange on the diff to the new diff and everything else remains the same. I wasted money on driveshafts and now have extra's to get rid of cheaply...
